Can anyone truly defend the township board’s action of promoting Karen Goodhue to the treasurer’s position after her mother Marie Malburg retired? Nepotism is a tactic that politicians use to keep the power in their hands to advance their political agenda. The only political agenda that should be pursued by the Macomb Township board is that of the Macomb Township residents.

Citizens on both sides of the aisle (the Left and the Right) are both fed up with wasteful government spending and the lack of accountability. One would be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t agree with an open bidding process. The open bidding process is a fundamental necessity to keep our elected officials in check, and make sure that they are not passing out taxpayers’ hard-earned money to just any friend, family member or campaign contributor who walks through the door. This is a process that has been around forever, yet the Macomb Township Board members still thinks it’s OK to pull out their personal rolodex when looking for bidders. It seems like such a simple concept. If you want to spend other peoples’ money, you better have a legitimate bid process.

Conservatives live in reality. Liberals are shipped in from their mother land, La-La Ville.

Mount Clemens has a terrible problem with traffic and it will tear up Cass Avenue. My solution would be the simple one of making Cass Avenue one-way and making Church Street one-way in the opposite way. This will handle much more traffic and be a whole lot easier on everybody.
